We used soda cans on both forks of the stick holding up our stove pipe. Extra protection to keep the fork from catching fire. Just a trick we learned. Our stove was cranked up at time when it got down to minus 20 F.
I saw both videos and it looks good and it seems your happy. Cool. Be aware that your pipe is a tight fit to the stove jack. It’s customary to have a little space between the circle and pipe, so the wind affecting the tent doesn’t pull the pipe out of the stove. Great set up I love hot tent winter camping. Great organization . You did well. Good to see people modify and make things happen. I modified a tent for hot tenting and I’m happy, it worked great. Thanks
Thanks for the comments 😁...being an HVAC guy I am familiar with venting and codes...I was monitoring it very closely and I can tell you for sure that tent was taught and no movement occurred. The smoke pipe did get alot of creosote from burning fresh cut wood...after day 4 I had to disassemble the sections and knock it out...it had started affecting the draft...after cleaning it out it was all good again.
We have same tent but bigger with a 55 gal barrel stove . Outside we did like a horse hitch down the whole side of tent to tie roof ropes to about half way up side of tent . The where stove pipe comes out side of tent like yours we put 2 -12’ conduit pipes in ground standing up in air wired to hitch brought pipe out to elbow and up the conduit wired in few spots to hold it works great nice draw and no problems
Get you some silver foam insulation and stick it between the frame and tent fabric, that will keep the tent cooler in the heat and warmer in the cold. You can also put a cloth liner on the inside of the tent, which really helps keep it cooler and or warmer!
We have same tent, we use a military barrel style stove, I was impressed with this cheap wall unit, used many times and it's a great cheap alternative to the very expensive wall tents! It's roomy, only thing I do see an issue with is the poles, eventually I want to replace with sturdier ones. Will see, only time will tell before stuff begins to fail
Looks like you have a nice set up there. Just looked for this tent and can't seem to find it on the WallyWorld website. Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post these videos!
I just got one about a week and a half ago and right after I got mine, I looked on the website and it wasn’t there. Going back from where I ordered mine, it’s showing sold out. Mine is the newer one with the stove jack and the screen door. Got it set up on the land I hunt on, but haven’t stayed in it yet.
@@toolbox57 Glad to hear they added a stove jack!! I wasn't looking forward to adding one myself. I will just keep checking to see if / when they come back in stock. Where did you order yours?
Brian Liles I ordered mine from Walmart’s website. Here’s the link to it: www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-North-Fork-12-x-10-Wall-Tent-with-Stove-Jack/922379517
I had one of these tents and I loved it good room for two people but we left it setup and got like 20 inches of snow and cows rubbing up against it bent one of the poles On the corner and with the weight of the snow it didn’t stay up for the summer time and early fall weather it’s a good tent but I don’t know about heavy snow anymore but if I was there maybe would have lasted if could have beat the snow off
It looks like your spark arrester may have caught fire at some time due to creosote buildup. We removed the screen on ours because of buildup and the effect it had on the draft. We just used a rain cap. If you get embers on the tent, don't use paper to start the fire. Use charcoal starter fluid instead. If you still get embers, place a thin sheet of aluminum to cover the tent. Drill holes in it so you can tie it down from the wind. We also used wire as guy wires on the stovepipe attached to trees. Even that broke once under heavy snow.
Just a thought but I would move the cooking top. It location right now you will splatter the side of tent while cooking and also run the risk of melting the tent wall accidentally if a frying pan flare up
Thanks! Good video of the camp! Good luck on the turkey hunt! Did you ever find a need to treat or water proof the tent? I purchased one myself, but due to an injury i havn't put it up yet! Looking foreward to get out soon!
I planned on treating it, like all my tents but it rained the day I "test" set it up in my backyard. And then it rained 4 days and it never got wet on the inside...so no...it's not treated and it's been working great so far
CanvasCamp has a stove jack with a silicone rubber boot on the end to give a tight fit. You could have went straight up. Or put another jack on the top. It won't leak.
Awesome set up! I really like the tent, we just used an older military canvas tent that doesn’t look as tall all around like that. I’m looking for a newer tent like this. Is that up in Ottawa national forest? I’ve spent a lot of time in Manistee national forest for bird hunting in the past
I appreciate the video, thinking of getting the same tent. When you were giving the tour it felt good because you had things organized. Nothing worse than piles of stuff everywhere on a hunting trip. I do have a question though. What are those things along the roof that you have your clothing hanging from? I'm trying to figure out how to get my things hunt up and that would do that trick.
Dumb question. How do you stitch into such a large piece like a tent? In other words, you can’t access the front side and the back side simultaneously to run the needle in and out of each side. Or is it all in how you fold a hem?
I googled it at the time and picked up an old sewing machine at a resale shop and used that, I don't remember the steps exactly but I don't remember it being difficult at all.
Can you tell me , hqvent find info on this question. . does the tent hold up in bad wind. Oh about 75 to 80 mph. I am in the desert of AZ.. If it is anchored down by 18in debar stacks and ratchet strap to the ground . thank you much
Was he burning a wood stove? Can't imagine any snow sticking with the heat on. Even so I would keep the roof clear if I noticed it was starting to sag.
I can’t find any information about how the flooring attaches at the door. Critters & mice etc able to get into the tent because it’s not well sealed? I’m thinking about duct taping it to seal it up. I haven’t set it up yet but a bit concerned about this. Especially the door
Have you noticed any problem getting the pins into the upright poles? Like their a little to long! Mine takes a lot of stretching and pulling to install them! But i really like the tent!
Are you planning on setting it up long-term? I only use this a couple times a year for a week at a time. It has had no issues for me and I see myself continuing to use it this way for many years to come.
@@BrisbaneBones during the night I stoked the fire every 2 hours but the burn box isn't that large and we weren't burning very dry wood. I also think I need to remake the stove with a 4" flue and damper. The 3 inch didn't seem to draft quite as well. I built that stove with no plans and it's been tweaked a few times. Im sure it doesn't hold heat like a heavy canvas would. The R-factor is probably quite different.
@@Roadkill750 oh ok I was just confused I have learning disability and I would not be able to put a stove jack on it myself so I'll have to buy the one with it I do enjoy the outdoors though and luckily with my hands on learning that I have learned threw my grandpa who was an extreme Hunter did a lot of Alaska trips and everything I know how to run a stove the right way at least thank you.
How did it hold up and how late in the season did it get used? Saw these and was hoping it was on the Goodtogo end of the spectrum for ozarktrail gear.
Used in in April and I see it being used once or twice for years to come... It's definitely on the higher end of Ozark trail gear... My friend who went with me on this trip liked it so much he bought one too
How does this tent do with rain, I have heard several say it does ok, and some say its terrible. I would treat it prior to use but curious about your experience.

Dont keep your food in your tent. If you do, its only a matter of time before a hungry bear comes and tears your tent open. if you happen to be in the tent then your going to have a bad time.

Sorry but I couldn't tell you....I've never had it up in that kind of wind...
Careful with snow load.. a friend of mine hade this out hunting and it Collapsed the small steel frame just can't hold... just a heads up..
Was he burning a wood stove? Can't imagine any snow sticking with the heat on. Even so I would keep the roof clear if I noticed it was starting to sag.
Yes.. it was the middle of the night.. snow turned wet and snow accumulated.. it happens to all...
@@GUNSLINGEROUTDOORS that would be really bad
Just a heads up...
Could you do another update video?
I can’t find any information about how the flooring attaches at the door. Critters & mice etc able to get into the tent because it’s not well sealed? I’m thinking about duct taping it to seal it up. I haven’t set it up yet but a bit concerned about this. Especially the door
Its a heavy duty vinyl bath tub style floor with about 3" tall sides that attach with velcro strips
I have done the tripod holder and put a flat rock under the pipe.
Good idea
Nice tent can’t find one in Canada
How do you have your jack ? Mines in the roof of my North fork
It’s on the side. I sewed it in since mine didn’t come with a stove jack
How does it hold up to the weight of the snow

Yes they are tight...even with legs on lowest section

Hey how you doing buddy I came across your video and question how is the Ozark tent holding up
holding up just fine, no issues. Used it this winter for a week in December for deer camp.
How has it stood up. is it still doing well, going to buy one very soon just curious how it has done in the long run.
Are you planning on setting it up long-term? I only use this a couple times a year for a week at a time. It has had no issues for me and I see myself continuing to use it this way for many years to come.
@@Roadkill750 Hello, no sir I would do the same, a couple times a year, a week at a time. Thank you for your reply.
Looking good man! Does this tent hold heat very well compared to a canvas tent?
I can't comment on a canvas tent because I haven't used one. This got over 80 degrees, had to open the windows...
Roadkill 750 awesome. Did the heat hold in there very long after the fire went out? Or did you keep the fire going the whole time?
@@BrisbaneBones during the night I stoked the fire every 2 hours but the burn box isn't that large and we weren't burning very dry wood.

Canvas is a better insulator than poly or vinyl, not to mention thicker too.
Has people or animals meddling with your camp when you aren’t around ever been an issue or concern?
Not yet
If that's the Ozark wall tent it should have a spot up top for the piping of your stove
